“Eco waste” a team of 2 scholars, 1 lady, and 1 boy came together to start Eco waste aiming to operate as a closed-loop recycling system and will start with community members depositing their plastic waste to the ECO collection stations in return for payment.

Therefore, make affordable, eco-friendly, durable buckets and baskets fabric products to create jobs for young women and unemployed youth while promoting innovative mindsets and protecting our environment from carbon emissions.
At YINNOH scholars are matched with mentors and keep testing ideas and making mistakes until they become social change-makers and living with their own social ventures created thus creating their own jobs and solving the shared pain in their communities.
YINNOH we are envisioning creating a world where refugees and disadvantaged youths are self-actualized and economic actors who fully contribute to the communities, they live in.
